Indian woman makes India’s 1st COVID-19 testing kit

New Delhi, Mar 30 : With the arrival of the first made-in-India testing kit for novel coronavirus in the market, another positive news poured in that has won hearts of thousands of people, including the chairman of Mahindra Group, Anand Mahindra, who have been waiting for a ray of hope in India’s fight against the infection.

According to a report by BBC, virologist Minal Dakhave Bhosale, who is the research and development chief of Mylab Discovery in Pune, the first Indian firm to get full approval to make and sell Covid-19 testing kits, managed to provide the testing kit for evaluation just a day before she delivered her daughter.

Her efforts paid the price with her team delivering the testing kit in a record time of six weeks. “It was an emergency, so I took this on as a challenge. I have to serve my nation,” said Minal Dakhave Bhosale to BBC.
